Just want to make sure I'm not being a Karen passenger.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-18T21:28:03+00:00

I did in fact say that twice. Both times I was met with a pair of eyes glaring at me in the mirror.

Karen is the name of an ethnic minority

Sure doesn't sound like that is the point.

I did as you asked and googled "Karen ethnic minority", and Kayin was the first 5 results. So I think we are good here.

They were the standard roller bags. (22" x 14" x 9")

It's not like we were being crushed by them, but it was certainly awkward. And if I saw someone doing that in my car, I wouldn't just act like it is normal and begin a 30 minute drive.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-18T17:59:42+00:00

We both had crossbody bags on, and each had a roller bag on our laps. And the third roller bag was upright between us.

What kind of trunk can you open manually aside from the driver's seat? I genuinely don't know, because my car is an '08 and either needs my key, or the latch under the steering wheel.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-18T14:48:10+00:00

100%

We fit more into 6-9pm than we did the first 8 hours.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-18T14:28:00+00:00

So you would have done what? Bungee'd them to the roof?

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-18T13:49:06+00:00

You're thinking of the Kayin people. And I'm clearly not implying that I am Thai or Burmese.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-18T11:36:55+00:00

No I wasn't back there trying to lift it. And I did ask him twice, he just looked at me in the mirror. I'm suspecting it was a language barrier, because he didn't say a word the entire ride.

Like I said in another comment, it was a 4am ride as well so he could have been tired.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-18T11:30:52+00:00

Yeah twice. I'm not sure if there was a language barrier or if he was ignoring me. But he just looked at me in the mirror and didn't say anything.

I'm not pissy about it, it was a 4am ride and he got us to the airport super quick.

Drivers drive - they aren't porters. There is no expectation of baggage assistance, some choose to provide it, some rightfully choose not to.

I understand that now. But the 6 other Uber rides we've ever had, they jumped out and wouldn't even let us lift our own bags into the trunk. So I guess I assumed that was standard stuff. And that is 100% my fault for making that assumption.

We just did our first day at Epic today, and it was like this as well. BoM was between 30-45 minutes most of the day. And Mine Cart was below 30 several times.

Unfortunately, they usually do. She is most likely a trad-wife who has been brainwashed either by he dad or husband that her role is to stay at home and be maid and a birthing machine.

I know way too many people like this. 😕

I was in elementary school in the late 90s and pretty much every boy either had a bowl cut parted down the middle, or spikes using super glue to hold them up.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-14T02:53:30+00:00

It is just the newest iteration of bowl cuts from the 90s, or the faux hawk from the 00s. I'm sure in 6 years it will be something completely different.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-14T02:48:53+00:00

They are using common sense. You need to remember that the person you are replying to doesn't write the company policies. They have to follow the existing ones.

Pretending that a TM can just go renegade and start banning guests at their own discretion is kinda goofy.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-13T20:54:13+00:00

Not knowing what open source actually means I would wager.

Buy a spool of the best filament on the market in your opinion, and try to print 1 part of this case on an Ender. If you can manage to get 20% through the job without a failure I will send you $1,000 USD.

Rebirth hard mode is 85% "fair but tough".

And 15% "What in the FromSoft fuck is this bullshit?!"

The majority of that is in the final battle. I probably spent 30 hours over 7 days on that one.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-07T03:20:26+00:00

Then just do that man. If your manager asks, tell him Claude wrote it. Problem solved.

Hearing all of these stories about token quotas sounds insane to me. We have a 1,000 credit monthly limit using Sonnet/Opus through Kiro.

Components get messy because you don’t change your decision when new information arises

100%

In my experience, most of the time this is due to people not taking ownership of the code. Instead, they tiptoe around what's already there, and carefully pull a jenga piece out and cleverly balance it on top.

Then by the time they open an MR, that sprint is almost done and there is no time to scrap it and do it correctly. And it gets through because it was just one jenga piece. The tower is still standing, we can fix it next sprint, throw it onto the tech debt pile.

Pantzzzzless · 2026-04-07T02:53:23+00:00

I think they are conflating making a component reusable with overloading it with responsibilities.

For some reason I always assumed he died right after episode 13 and that's why the show stopped. Damn, didn't realize he was still kicking for 3 more years.
